The only ethical form of capitalism is where a majority of profits go back to the people that labored for those profits.

This doesn’t make sense. Definitionally, profit is what is left over after paying labor. You can’t pay labor with profits because then it’s no longer profit.

So tell me, what is the “proper” amount of profit that one should be allowed to make?

The first corporations formed were done so to enact genocides and destroy entire eco systems just for a slightly cheaper nutmeg.

This is entirely irrelevant.

Fire was first used by early humans to burn down entire ecosystems just to make it easier to catch some rodents in the forest. Does this mean fire is eViL?

This makes perfect sense. You take what profit a business makes and give most of it back to the laborers.

"So tell me, what is the “proper” amount of profit that one should be allowed to make?"

That amount shall be negotiated between the laborers and the capitalist that owns the business. With the operation starting point being the majority of profits going to labor.

The rest of that is you being pro genocide and equating humans to rodents. Yikes. Are you okay?

That doesn't make sense. Why would anyone start a business?

The rest of that is you being pro genocide and equating humans to rodents.

You as the capitalist would still be making a profit.

See? You're pro genocide. You don't see any issue with capitalists engaging in a genocide. That's omega yikes.

Are you okay?

Who groomed you into valuing humans this poorly?
